**pavane---a dance from the renaissance with a very slow pulse. it's more of a procession than a dance, really.
Travis is 27. His other band is LA Tool and Die, a twee pop outfit out of Charlotte, NC on AAJ records.
Travis plays anything with keys, sings, is slowly getting better at guitar, and plays a number of wind instruments, and is adding trombone and french horn to his one-man orchestra. He likes to refer to his music as "jammie-core", since it's the kind of thing you might want to listen to while in your pajamas and cuddling with a kitty cat or a loved one. please enjoy. That is, if you enjoy being depressed.
I am now in the process of recording new stuff, and rerecording old things now that I have a better idea of what I'm doing. Keep listening; one day you can say you knew me when.

try light sheep!
special promotional led bottlecap style,
sits right in piles,
of of course stomach bile,
looking at megalo for spanish
flesh or yes, some roofing tile?
returning the periods, after the trial?
or, bring hale, stick your nose in the mark trail?
sometimes, I spit, like....
green shit,
sliding down the railing,
sleepin too close to the floor inhalin
but never inhalnts, more like
deep sea see me prevailing, when fightin
them squid...
